Etymology

The etymology of Celepharn's name is unknown. Robert Foster categorizes the name as Sindarin.[5]Tolkien fans have speculated that Celepharn might be composed of celeb ("silver") + a derivative of the root PHAR ("reach, go all the way, suffice"), thus meaning something like "enough silver" or "sufficient silver".[6][7]
